Johannesburg
summit online
For those who can’t get to South Africa
this August - September, there are several web sites that will make it
possible to follow events at the Johannesburg World Summit on SustainableDevelopment
(WSSD).
The United Nations is the host of the event, and the organisation’s
official WSSD site might be a good place to look for breaking news, as
well as other links.
Check it at out at:<www.johannesburgsummit.org/>.
The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC)has
a site describing the various activities that the organisation will undertake
in Johannesburg. You can find it online at: <www.rec.org/rio+10>
Another good site for current developments is the Stakeholder Forum’s
Earth Summit web site, which is apparently updated on a regular basis.
It’s at: <www.earthsummit2002.org/>.
In the previous issue, in this column, we mentioned the Virtual Exhibition
site, which will attempt to give current information to conference attendees
and the rest of the world.
Find it at: <www.virtualexhibit.
net>.
Transport
gateway
An excellent gateway for web sites pertaining to transport
issues is run by the journal called “World Transport Policy and Practice.”
The site is located at: <www.ecoplan.org/wtpp/wt_index.htm>.
Some of the links that can be found on the site include:
